Cloud Security Alliance releases report on cloudbased intelligent eco-systems

The Cloud Security Alliance ( CSA ), which is dedicated to defining and raising awareness of best practices to help ensure a secure cloud computing environment , has released its report Cloud-Based , Intelligent Ecosystems – Redefining Intelligence & Driving to Autonomous Security Operations .

The paper looks to address the disconnect within cybersecurity wherein increasing numbers of security solutions are only serving to make enterprises more vulnerable . In the document , the authors encourage security executives to break the endless cycle of iterative tool adoption , and , instead , move to data-centric security operations that drive integration and automation while simultaneously leveraging cloud-based fusion .
“ We are in a cyber arms race that has precipitated a security tool-race with adversaries ’ evolving attacks forcing us to spend more to try to defend ourselves .
Our default response is to adopt new tools to try to keep up , but we are losing this race as adversaries continue to outpace defenders ,” said Jim Reavis , Co-founder and CEO , Cloud Security Alliance . “ We are increasing operations and personnel costs but somehow decreasing security and efficiency . Our complex and costly operations are , in fact , increasing the probability of adversaries ’ success .”
The CSA took a step back to examine the problem holistically and identified a critical gap : the absence of a capability to easily leverage and fuse output from security tools and threat intelligence deployed . p
